We’ve met the Cruise Critic Blog group and are planning to attend the cabin crawl and wine tasting on the first..interesting group and very well traveled. Fun to swap experiences and find out where to go next. Formal night and show..ate too much but all very good..too good to pass up. We like this smaller ship for the intimate feeling it has. Holland always gracious and it is. Veranda is lovely with sun in the afternoon facing the Coral sea. It is getting cooler each day but sunny still.
Yesterday we visited the Hell’s Gate area of thermal pools and steam. Lots of good mud we wish we could bring home for skin care. Maori hangi lunch good but like a boiled dinner. Lamb & chicken w veggies. sheep demo with dogs interesting. Wool from merino and opossum woven in is very soft and very expensive despite the opossum being a pest.

Back on board we had a quick dinner and played first game of Hand and foot. Girls won!! Today is Napier and visit to Maori Arch of Ancestors and hopefully see a bit of the city and the Deco buildings.
Miss you all but having a great time. No painting..lots of thought and ideas though.
